Answer 2

they cater to what they think that country would like best. Different places use different seasonings and they make the drink compliment the seasonings. I went to las vegas and in one place they had the coca cola plate so you can taste all the different kinds. Coke is popular in all these places, and I hated some of the ones i tasted. So maybe if they tried to sell the "american coca cola" in other places. they might hate the taste.....to each his own.....its called good business
